Özet:

The aim of this study was to examine the high stake test implemented in Turkey with a critical perspective and outlines. The problems experienced in transition from basic education to secondary education have caused researchers to write different opinion articles (Baykal, 2014; Büyüköztürk, 2016). These studies provide important contributions to the literature, especially in terms of the reason for the existence of exams, an education system without exams, and the discussion of the effects of this system on all stakeholders of education. In this study, it is aimed to provide a holistic perspective by examining the background of the phenomenon such as why exams are needed, what they want to accomplish, as well as the results produced by exams and transition systems and the deficiencies in practice.
